In a world dominated by GPS and smartphone navigation, topographic maps remain one of the most valuable tools for outdoor enthusiasts, professionals, and emergency planners.
A topographic (topo) map uses contour lines to show the shape and elevation of the land. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the terrain. The farther apart they are, the gentler the slope.
A topo map can help you:
✔ Plan hiking, camping, hunting, and backcountry adventures
✔ Identify mountains, valleys, ridges, and water features
✔ Navigate in areas without cell service or internet access
✔ Support search and rescue, emergency response, and field operations
✔ Understand terrain before you head into unfamiliar areas
Why carry a topo map when you have a phone?
Because batteries die. Devices break. Cell service disappears. A paper topo map never needs charging and won’t lose signal when you need it most.
At MapTown, we offer topographic maps for locations across Canada and the United States, available in paper, laminated, and waterproof formats. Whether you’re planning a weekend hike or a major field project, we can help you find the right map.
And yes... we ship worldwide.
From Calgary to Cape Town, Sydney to Seattle, and even Timbuktu, we’ll help get you mapped and ready for your next adventure.

Boating season is here — and waiting until the last minute for updated marine charts can leave you scrambling when you need them most.
MapTown carries both Canadian Hydrographic Service (CHS) nautical charts and NOAA nautical charts for boaters, anglers, sailors, commercial operators, and coastal adventurers.

Whether you’re navigating:
• Canadian waters
• U.S. coastal routes
• Inland waterways
• Harbours & marinas
• Remote shoreline areas

Having reliable, up-to-date charts matters.

Electronics fail. Batteries die. Signal disappears. A proper paper chart remains one of the most important safety and navigation tools you can have onboard.

Order your CHS & NOAA charts now before peak boating season inventory gets tight.

Available in paper, waterproof & laminated options on select charts.
